If Romney loses, who's to blame?

This week in video

“I said that bad word ‘Obama’ instead of Romney,” said Grassley. “Four years ago, I was mentioning that word [Obama], not at a speech like this, but at our family home. And we have a great granddaughter by the name of Indy. And she said to me — she’s 7 now, so she must have been 3 then – ‘Grandpa, don’t say that dirty word!’ So where are we? We’re at the point in America where somehow government’s more important than individuals are.”

Romney in turn had three words for Grassley, who tweeted last week that he had killed a deer while driving.

“Was it delicious?” the Republican nominee asked.

The crowd of 2,100 at an airport hangar in this eastern Iowa town roared with laughter as Romney made light of Iowa’s 79-year-old Republican’s tweet: “Fred and I hit a deer on hiway [sic] 136 south of Dyersville. After I pulled fender rubbing on tire we continued to farm. Assume deer dead.”

On a more serious note, Grassley had earlier invoked Hurricane Sandy to justify more energy production.

“If you want to bring a little more business common sense to Washington D.C., and the White House, you’ve got to know don’t you, that when you see all of the long gasoline lines in New York City and New Jersey right now, that we ought to be drilling here and drilling now,” he said.

“And somehow, somehow it wouldn’t hurt to have one more refinery in America for the first time in 30 years, would it? And the people in New York know that, the people in Iowa know that. But the people in Middle East don’t want us to know it, because they want us to continue sending $843 million dollars everyday overseas. But we can keep it in this country and we can do it by harvesting our own resources.”

It is amazing that a US Senator doesn't understand the difference between supply and distribution issues. More drilling is clearly not going to provide relief to storm-stricken areas when refineries are closed and electric power is not available. When are we going to demand that our politicians and leaders have a minimal and acceptable IQ level to be members of Congress?

America Rising Once upon a time, in a great nation, after a bitter struggle an equilibrium was reached between capital and labor; decent wages and benefits for the workers and bigger profits for the owners. Because people had more money to spend, the economy roared. Everybody benefited. Lately, some very greedy people seem to have forgotten how it works. They’ve decided to ship those jobs and factories (that took many decades to create) overseas, bringing this great nation to it’s knees. The end result being when people here are out of work, they won’t be buying imported products. Leaving those overseas workers jobless as well. A few with billions and the world idle and in misery. It’s insane to have the strongest military in the world when homegrown traitors are doing to this great nation, what a foreign occupier does to a conquered nation; shipping it’s wealth, factories, and machinery overseas. Leaving the nation and its people devastated. Most of our congress and senate are millionaires and/or lawyers, bought and paid for by the same folks that are shipping our jobs and factories overseas. We need a government that looks like us; truck-drivers, waitresses, factory-workers, teachers, farmers; people who can balance a budget and love this country and it’s people. The first legislation we desperately need is to cut back gradually on imports while rebuilding our manufacturing base. Until we produce enough products here that ensure that every hard working American has a job at a living wage, that needs one. Then maybe a special tax 1950’s style 95% or so on any individual or corporation who shipped jobs or factories overseas. The proceeds going to pay down the national debt. Look around you. Everything you see was built with our, and our ancestor’s blood and sweat. We can’t let these con men destroy our country. Let’s Roll! -Midnightride12 TIME IS SHORT. PLEASE COPY AND SPREAD

More truth here than Grassley or Romney ever told. Grassley jokingly apologized for calling Mitt Romney a “bad word” Romney in turn had (NINE) words for Grassley, who tweeted he had killed a deer while driving. Was it (A DEMOCRAT OR ONE OF THE 47%) the Republican nominee asked.The crowd of 2 at a Iowa BAR roared as Romney made FUN of Iowa’s old Republican’s tweet: I hit a deer south of Dyersville. we continued to farm. Assume deer dead (LIKE YOU WITH YOUR DOG DIDN'T CARE).

Grassley had earlier invoked (SOME INTELLIGENCE AND COMMON SENSE)“If you want to bring a little more business to (AMERICA) (IF YOU LOVE AMERICA VOTE DEMOCRAT VOTE OUT THE NORQUIST PUPPETS).

it wouldn’t hurt to have one more SOURCE OF ENERGY in America (TO BRING THE COST OF GAS DOWN) And the people in (AMERICA) know that. But the people in Middle East don’t want us (IN THERE COUNTRY), because they (GOP) want us to continue sending $84 dollars every day overseas (IN UNNECESSARY WARS). But we can keep (OUR MILITARY) in this country (CREATING JOBS IN AMERICA)

Isn't that dude Grassley a laugh a minute. And Romney's so quick & witty. Such a wasted article.

From CNN Money:

Robert Sinclair, Jr., New York spokesman for the motorist group AAA, said that ports in New Jersey and Staten Island, N.Y., are closed for fuel transport, and that shuttered public transportation has caused traffic jams making it difficult for trucks to transport gasoline to gas stations.

Grassley's the consummate Republican. He thinks people don't remember what they read and take his words as truth.

Why didn't he take out his AK-47 and take the deer out of its misery, rather than leave it on the road to suffer. Or at least call 911 to report it. This negligence, as well as the President/"dirty word" teaching to his grandchild, is so typical of the GOP lack of sensitivity, respect of life, humanity and nature. It's all about "ME" -- the Ayn Rand handbook. How Christianity got mixed up in this is beyond me. This whole ugly mindset cannot win control of the country -- please. OBAMA/BIDEN 2012.
